Nonsense, the first \space produce a space and the whitespace in the input between \space and yyyy is gobbled from the macro.
The empty group after the second space prevents TeX from gobbling the space and you get now one space from the \space command and another one from the whitespace in the output.
I suppose, that the empty group has no effect. The following space will be printed and THIS space should be smaller in an broad-environment if I use \nospace or larger in an packed-environment if I use \space.
You need a empty group to get a space after commands like \TeX because the command gobbles otherwise all following whitespace.
Try the following example:
text\relax text\space text\space{}\space{}\space{}\space text
